This Buzz Session is the fourth in our series on “The Future of Consulting” theme.

The dominant business model for consulting -- project-based, talent-driven and billable time-based -- has remained remarkably stable over the years. There is however increasing evidence that this is changing due to the same economic, technological and social trends that have led many other industries to reinvent themselves. This session will look at how these trends are affecting the consulting industry and forcing it to rethink how it creates and delivers value to its clients. What new business models are emerging? Some alternative models will be proposed as starting points, to be followed by a broad, open discussion among participants.
